So what I am understanding is, for the 1-2, you used the pinless in the stock spring/configuration and on the 3-4 you used the pinless with the transgo kit spring/configuration

Correct.
For the 1-2 the setup is stock, except for the pistons(Sonnax).
For the 3-4 I used the Sonnax piston, along with the Transgo spring(Orange?).
This setup seems to work really well. Ill be at the meetup this weekend if want to go for a ride.*edit*- Never mind, youre from W. Va.

take a punch a little larger than the hole
and smack it a few times so the ball wont shoot out
I think its called stakeing it

I will be doing the 3-4 accumulator later tonight.
Thanks.

Old thread, but relevant to me. When using the pinless 3-4 accumulator with a transgo SK kit, which direction do I install the pinless accumulator piston? Spring toward the plate (factory style) or spring toward the case (how transgo instructs)?

For anyone who is curious I installed the pinless accumulators along with the transgo SK 4l60e shift kit and a vette servo. On the 1-2pinless accumulator you have to use the stock springs. On the 3-4 pinless accumulator I installed the transgo spring and installed the accumulator in the transgo orientation (spring toward the case). Seems to be working fine.

If you go to some transmission parts websites they show many different OEM accumulator springs. Some OEM springs may be red, purple, white, or other colors. I think purple is the stiffest OEM color.
On my vehicle the OEM spring was smaller than the pad on the pinless piston for the 2nd accumulator.
On the 4th accumulator the spring sat in the groove machined into it.

Unfortunately I don't have pictures of the springs. There were multiple variations of OEM springs used on the 1-2 accumulator. I believe mine may have been green?
